for 30 minutes to break in the pump parts.
4.
Turn regulator knob fully counter clockwise.
Compressor will build to maximum pre-set
pressure and shut off.
5.
Turn regulator knob clockwise to cause air to
bleed off. Compressor will restart at a pre-set

6.
Turn regulator knob counter clockwise to
shut off the air and turn switch to off position.
7.
Attach chuck or other tool to open end of hose.
Turn the regulator on. In the AUTO position, the
compressor pumps air into the tank. It shuts off
automatically when unit reaches its maximum
pre-set pressure. In the OFF position, the pressure
switch cannot function and the compressor will
not operate. Make sure switch is in OFF position
when connecting or disconnecting power cord
from electrical outlet.
***************************************
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets
as it comes from an air compressor pump. When
humidity is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended period of time,
this moisture will collect in the tank. When using
a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be
carried from the tank through the hose, and out of
the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation will cause
water spots in a paint job, especially when
spraying other than water-based paints. If
sandblasting, it will cause the sand to case and
clog the gun rendering it ineffective. A filter in the
air line (MP3105), located as near to the gun as
possible, will help eliminate this moisture.

SAFETY VALVE
▲ WARNING!
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust the safety valve!
This valve should be checked under pressure
occasionally by pulling the ring by hand. If air
leaks after ring has been released, or valve is stuck
and cannot be actuated by ring, it MUST be
replaced.
REGULATOR KNOB
(figure 5)
1.This knob controls air pressure to an air-
operated tool or paint spray gun.
2.Turn clockwise to increase air pressure at outlet.
When desired pressure is reached, locked with
nuts.
3.To lower air pressure at outlet, turning counter
clockwise.
3.
Turn fully counter clockwise to shut off flow
of air completely then push knob down.

Disconnect power source
then release all pressure
from the system before
attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Check compressor often for any visible problems
and follow maintenance procedures each time
